I actuallly thought long and hard on this one. For North America, since the introduction of top notch bullets (TSX, etc.) I'd have to vote for the 7mm-08. Big enough for elk and moose (and even grizz with the right bullet), Small enough for yotes and hogs, accurate enough for F-class, and a joy to shoot.

since nobody picked a quarter bore i'll open with a 250-3000 or 257 roberts

I would say the 6.5X55 its been used all over the world with great success.

 

[blargon]

.308, does what the '06 does, but more effeciently.

 

[gitrdun]

I'd say 30-06 ant that's just why I don't own one....

 

[Amphibious]

.22lr or .30-06

pretty hard choice after that

Throw in the 2 3/4 inch 12 gauge and I believe you're right.

 

[Garand]

.30-06 of course

8x57 cause it was first and, I think it beat the 7x57 by 4years and the 30-06 by 18 years. I also have owned five and they were all great. I can also get a 200grn bullet going 2700fps with only 48grns of IMR 4064 so it is very efficient.
The 8x57 rocks, its to bad you have to import a good sporting rifle or have one made because if they were easier to get more poeple would agree with me.

7x57=1892
8x57=1905.

 

[Win/64]

7x57=1892
8x57=1905.

Thought so.

 

[BC Bigbore]

Centerfire = .30-06 Springfield
Rimfire = .22 Long Rifle
(hadda pick two)

 

[Libertas aut Mortis]

There ain't many problems a man can't fix with $700 and a .30-'06

[SuperCub]

Which ever "x7" came 1st, either 8x57 or 7x57.

For its time the .280 Ross was king, better than all, of its time and it was Canadian

 

[Para P-12]

Many fine calibers have emerged over the years, but the overall best
would have to be the 30-06!

Well then, seeing as the .375 H & H can't be picked then it'll have to be the 9.3 x 64mm.

 

[MiG25]

7x57=1892
8x57=1905.

7.9x57 = 1888
7x57 =1892
7.92x57 = 1905

so the patrone 88 is the daddy of them all.

 

[AlderTK]

12 gauge
.22 LR
